American Kennel Club

I was looking for some information about my Shih Tzu, Dulcie so I thought I’d head right to AKC and see what they had to read on her breed. And let me tell you, they did not let me down!

If you go to Breeds, and then select the dog’s breed you are whisked off to their page, where first you’ll be greeted with the AKC standards for showing that breed. But if you scroll past that to the very bottom of the page you’ll find fascinating links to: Colors and Markings, Did You Know?, History, Photos, and Video!

This site provides a really excellent way to get information on different dog breeds, if you’re in the market to purchase a new dog. Not only that, they offer a listing of AKC certified breeders, breed rescue links, and so much more to help you find a pet of the breed you want.

While I’m talking about purchasing a new pet, I should also tell you to check out the Future Owners section. You will find fantastic tips and information on how to pick the right breed for your lifestyle and how to be a responsible dog owner.
